Woodgate did not make any appearances for Real Madrid in his first season in Spain, eventually making his debut on 22 September 2005, in a league match against [[Athletic Bilbao]]. The game did not go well for him, as he scored an own goal and was later sent off for a second bookable offence.<ref name="Real nightmare for Woodgate debut">{{Cite news |date=23 September 2005 |title=Real nightmare for Woodgate debut |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/4273704.stm |access-date=19 August 2007}}</ref> He scored his only goal for Real Madrid by heading the equaliser in the 4–1 [[2005-06 UEFA Champions League|UEFA Champions League]] defeat of [[Rosenborg BK]] on 19 October, his first appearance for the club in European competition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hall |first=Andy |date=19 October 2005 |title=Madrid fightback flattens Rosenborg |url=http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2005/matches/round=2201/match=1100292/postmatch/report/index.html |access-date=25 May 2015 |publisher=UEFA}}</ref>
 
By February 2006, Woodgate had established himself as a first team player, with the other centre half position rotating among [[Sergio Ramos]], [[Iván Helguera]], [[Francisco Pavon]] and [[Álvaro Pérez Mejía|Álvaro Mejía]]. One Spanish newspaper even described him as having "become Madrid's true leader".<ref name="Willing Woodgate emerges as a leader of Real quality">{{Cite news |last=Lowe |first=Sid |date=18 February 2006 |title=Willing Woodgate emerges as a leader of Real quality |work=The Guardian |publisher=Guardian Media Group |location=London |url=http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1712450,00.html |access-date=19 August 2007}}</ref> However, further injury setbacks again stopped him playing. He was considered to have an outside chance of making the England squad for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], but due to surgery on his back was not named in the squad.
 
In July 2007, Woodgate was voted the worst signing of the 21st century by users of the website of Spain's leading sports daily, ''[[Marca (newspaper)|Marca]]'', polling 37.11% of the votes cast.<ref name="Soccer-Roundup-Woodgate voted worst signing of the 21st century">{{Cite news |date=26 July 2006 |title=Soccer-Roundup-Woodgate voted worst signing of the 21st century |work=Reuters |url=http://uk.reuters.com/article/UK_SOCCER/idUKL2625990220070726 |access-date=19 August 2007}}</ref>
